Tedashii releases his first single of the new year “IYKYK,” kicking off the rollout for PT. 2 of the “Dead or Alive” series he launched in September of last year.

As the lead single for the upcoming “Dead or Alive Pt. 2” EP, “IYKYK” (If You Know, You Know) brings a new EDM-trap music influenced high-energy sound to Tedashii’s discography. As Tedashii has continued to search himself in this season of reflection, his focus now more than ever is to allow the fullness of who he is and who God made him to be to become more evident in his music.

Tedashii adds, “This song is all coming from a place of pride in knowing God. I’m proud of what I know and who I am because of Him” says Tedashii. “All of us who follow God know how amazing it is to have our lives submitted to His will and this song is for those people. How do I have joy despite my circumstances? Well, if you know, you know…”

Tedashii explains, “At several points in my own life, I’ve felt crushed under the weight of so many hardships and I’ve even attempted to end it all. It was in that moment I was faced with a choice, to live or die. Dead Or Alive is my journey of choosing to live, while saying to the listener what I said to myself: dead or alive, you decide.”
